"Who would have thought, after hearing Cheng Xiaofan's question, Luo Shu shook his head and said, 'Mr. Cheng, the Star Lord is just the Star Lord. It's his title, and it's also his name!'
'As for his wife, I do know her name.'
'Her name is Chen Xi, and she is the Star Lord's primary wife!'
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, 'So, the former Star Lord had more than one wife?'
Luo Shu nodded and said, 'As far as I know, the Star Lord had several other wives besides the primary one. However, after the Star Lord's death, those other wives all disappeared!'
Cheng Xiaofan nodded, 'If Chen Xi was truly involved in the former Star Lord's death, the disappearance of the other wives might also be related to her.'
Hearing this, Luo Shu sighed.
He said, 'Mr. Cheng, it's better if we don't talk about these past matters!'
Although Luo Shu said he didn't want to discuss it, how could Cheng Xiaofan not see that he had been harboring thoughts about the former Star Lord's death?
And what's more!
He had been secretly investigating the matter.
It was just that Luo Shu, for self-preservation and to facilitate his investigation, did not want to disclose more information externally.
'Alright, then we won't talk about it. Let's drink!'
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, 'Elder Luo, I happened to bring some dishes with me this time. Let's try them!'
As he spoke, he took out a large piece of roasted meat from his backpack.
'Wow, what kind of meat is this? It smells so good!' Luo Shu asked, sniffing it with surprise.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, 'This is the meat of a rare animal. It's said to be very nourishing. My master gave it to me when I came down the mountain this time!'
'He didn't tell me what kind of animal meat it was!'
In fact, it was a piece of river monster meat.
Such an animal wouldn't exist on this planet. To avoid another round of explanations, he simply made up a story.
He then took out a knife, sliced the roasted meat, and arranged it on an empty plate.
Luo Shu picked up a slice of river monster meat, chewed it in his mouth, and exclaimed with great delight, 'This meat tastes amazing!'
'I've never eaten such delicious meat before!'
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan thought, 'It would be strange if you had!'
'Ah, I feel like I have more energy after eating this meat!' Luo Shu exclaimed again in amazement.
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily, 'Elder Luo, if you like it, eat more.'
'I've had enough, anyway!'
Luo Shu smiled, 'Mr. Cheng, then I won't be polite!'
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, 'Elder Luo, I admire your character. I consider you an elder, so you don't need to be polite with me!'
He then took out a pile of pastries and a bottle of premium happy wine from his backpack, placed them on the table, and said, 'These are all gifts for you. Please enjoy them slowly!'
Luo Shu looked astonished and said, 'Mr. Cheng, your backpack doesn't look that big, how can it hold so many things?'
Cheng Xiaofan smiled slightly and casually said, 'This backpack of mine is a treasure. It's similar to the legendary 'Sleeve of Heaven' and 'Mustard Seed Space.' It looks small on the outside, but its capacity is infinite!'
'So that's how it is!' Luo Shu stopped asking.
He thought, 'This Mr. Cheng is like a legendary extraordinary person.'
It was quite normal for legendary extraordinary individuals to carry one or two mysterious treasures with them.
Some things were not meant for ordinary people like him to inquire about!
He glanced at the pastries and wine on the table and said excitedly, 'Mr. Cheng, I'm truly sorry. You cured my bone brittle syndrome, and not only did I not pay you a consultation fee, but you also brought so many delicious things!'
Cheng Xiaofan laughed, 'Elder Luo, you are too polite!'
'I'll be staying in the capital for a few more days, so please don't say that again!'
Luo Shu quickly replied, 'Alright, alright, I won't say it!'
The two chatted and laughed, and by the time they finished eating, the moon was high in the sky.
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan suddenly remembered the innkeeper's reminder and knew that he had exceeded closing time.
He quickly said to Luo Shu, 'Elder Luo, it's getting late. We'll chat another day. I need to go back and rest!'
'Alright, alright, Mr. Cheng, it is indeed late. You should go back and rest!'
After bidding farewell to Luo Shu, Cheng Xiaofan flickered and headed towards the inn.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Upon returning to the inn's entrance, he found the door already closed. Cheng Xiaofan reached out and knocked.
Before he could knock a few times, the innkeeper's charming voice came from inside, 'Dr. Cheng, the night owl has finally returned home?'
'Didn't you remember what I told you?'
Cheng Xiaofan replied, 'I'm sorry, I got carried away drinking with an old friend and came back late!'
Immediately, the innkeeper's voice came from inside, 'Mr. Cheng, you're not even trying to hide your lies. Since when did Prime Minister Luo become your old friend?'
'...' Cheng Xiaofan was momentarily speechless by the innkeeper's words!
He and Luo Shu had only just met, they weren't really old friends, were they?
He said somewhat awkwardly, 'Innkeeper, I misspoke. Please let me in!'
The innkeeper chuckled, opened the window, waved at Cheng Xiaofan, and smiled charmingly, 'Mr. Cheng, since your attitude in admitting fault is good, why don't you climb in through the window!'
'...' Sweat!
Asking me to climb through the window? What kind of decorum is this?
But when you're under someone else's roof, you have to do as they say.
Who told me I was in the wrong first?
A true man can bend and stretch!
What does climbing through a window matter!
Whoosh!
Cheng Xiaofan leaped up, like a carp jumping over the dragon gate.
With a whoosh, he was inside.
When his feet touched the ground, he looked around and was stunned.
This was clearly the charming innkeeper's bedroom!
There were pink silk curtains, a bright red quilt, and near the bedside table, a few fresh flowers were placed in a long-necked vase.
The air was filled with a faint, subtle fragrance.
The innkeeper was wearing a very revealing pink slip dress, which seemed transparent, clearly showing the hint of red lingerie underneath and her two long, slender legs.
Her long, waterfall-like black hair cascaded over her shoulders.
Her face, as smooth as jade, was lightly made up.
Her exquisite features looked as if they were carved by heaven, appearing perfectly flawless and stunningly beautiful.
Looking at a beauty under the lamplight only made her more alluring.
Cheng Xiaofan had to admit that the charming innkeeper was a standard beauty.
Clearly, Cheng Xiaofan could tell that the innkeeper had dressed up meticulously for him tonight.
'Innkeeper, why did you let me into your bedroom?' Cheng Xiaofan felt uneasy, clearly sensing he had fallen into the charming innkeeper's trap.
The charming innkeeper said, 'Don't call me innkeeper, don't make me sound old. I have a name, you can call me Gan Xiaotang!'
'Alright, alright,'
Cheng Xiaofan bowed to her and said, 'I'll call you Gan Xiaotang!'"
